Annual General Members Meeting 2024

*This is a Members ONLY event
**Registration is required and walk-ins will not be allowed

It is that time of the year again for our Annual General Members Meeting! You’ll get a special opportunity to network with other members, meet our board and other VIPs, and find out what cool things the Society has planned for you in 2024. Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity! Join us to indulge in complimentary food and drinks while mingling with our team!

We are excited to announce a special panel discussion with a Shōgun-themed focus entitled “What Shōgun Means to Me and US-Japan.” Shōgun, authored by James Clavell in 1975, narrates the remarkable journey of the first Englishman to set foot in Japan, depicting his challenges in acclimating to and maneuvering through the tumultuous landscape of feudal Japan. Originally adapted into a television series in 1980, Shōgun has once again captured the attention of contemporary audiences with its 2024 remake, firmly reestablishing its presence in the mainstream cultural landscape.
